"Don't move, it took a lot of effort to apply it."
Wu Changyong used his hands to rub some blood plasma on the face of the extra man. It was inevitable that he felt curious when observing him up close for the first time.
Wu Changyun touched the extra actor's big belly, which felt harder than normal skin.
"What kind of leather is used on the outside of this costume?"
“It’s based on pig skin.”
Lei replied that blood bags would be filled in if necessary, and artificial blood would be sprayed out when a sharp weapon scratched the skin.
"What a great thing! We can even have a masquerade with this."
"The idea is good, but it will attract the local police." Lei said in a flat tone. They had indeed done this before.
At the scene, the extra was wrapped in countless jagged steel wires, leaving him covered in wounds. Several of the wires had cut into his costume, and artificial blood was oozing out from the cut surfaces.
"How does it feel?"
"It's a bit heavy." The extra was supported by one leg. The suit weighed more than 20 kilograms, and it was very uncomfortable for the whole person to be hung by the steel wire.
Compared to Hong Kong martial arts, this kind of work is considered easy.
"Everyone, take your positions and get ready to start the machine."
When there is no camera, Wu Changyun sits behind the camera. Fortunately, because of his previous cooperation with Du Qifeng, the two now communicate well.
The filming went smoothly for a week, and finally it was Ann-Margaret's turn to appear. Her role was very important, as she was the doctor's wife.
Wu Changyun walked to the door of Ann-Margaret's room. Her agent had recently sent him a lot of legal documents, which were piled on the table in Wu Changyun's room.
Unfortunately, one day when Wu Changyun was drunk, he threw all the urine into the toilet, so he had to specially call a repairman.
"Come in, you haven't got those contracts and agreements yet."
Ann-Margaret wore a white shirt and sports shorts, and her exposed thighs looked plump and elastic.
"Thanks."
Wu Changyun leaned against the table and took the local specialty juice from Ann Margaret.
"It doesn't look like you're going to deal with what's going on between us."
Ann-Margaret took a sip of juice. She had thought she had high expectations for this oriental man, but after coming here, she began to doubt for a moment that she was filming a special documentary.
"Not everyone can be Bruce Lee," said Ann-Margret.
"Does this have anything to do with our current filming?"
"Yes, I think you should go back and carefully read the agreement I gave you to ensure the interests of both of us. Otherwise, I will not set foot in that damn dangerous building."
She said very firmly that the crew frequently went in and out of the abandoned hospital, but this could not guarantee that it was safe.
Wu Changyun paid the actors according to American standards, and for Ann-Margaret, he even gave her a salary above the standard.
"I'm sorry, Miss Ann-Margaret, you don't have any scenes in the hospital." Wu Changyun couldn't help but remind her.
Ann-Margaret was stunned for a moment, a look of surprise written on her face. She immediately said in a strongly questioning tone: "No, this is a trust issue."
Ann-Margaret's request was also very simple. She hoped that Wu Changyun would sign an agreement with her to ensure that she would not be injured or traumatized during the filming process. If such an incident unfortunately happened, Wu Changyun would need to compensate for the economic losses, etc.
For an American actor in his prime, the compensation amount is an astronomical figure.
This is actually a problem of concept. No one in Hong Kong dares to make such a request, even those popular actresses. No one in Hong Kong will go to great lengths to ensure the safety of the actors.
"You can't? Then I'll change someone."
This was the most polite statement Wu Changyun could think of.
"What?"
"What did you say?"
"There's no room for negotiation on this matter. I can replace you." Wu Changyun's face changed and he turned and left.
"We have a contract, and you are breaching the contract by doing this." Ann-Margaret chased to the door with a roll of paper documents in her hand.
Wu Changyun looked at her helplessly, then whispered to her in the corridor, "Don't think I'll delay the production for you. If you don't want to play this role, I'll contact Canadian university students tomorrow to film it. You won't receive a penny after the filming is finished. When the filming is finished, take your lawyer to collect evidence in the abandoned hospital in Canada. Remember to send the subpoena to Hong Kong."
"You'll regret this." Ann-Margaret threw the documents into the air angrily.
Wu Changyun is not worried about regretting it, because the most classic part of a play that is left to the audience is often the one that is remembered by people.
The most classic part of "Saw" is the mechanism design, the surprise brought to everyone when the jigsaw appears, and the various cruel and bloody scenes that are too cruel to watch. Who would remember what the doctor's wife looks like?
The main reason for this trip to Canada to shoot is that his films are more popular in overseas markets.
Instead of battling it out with Xu Guanwen's feature comedies for the Hong Kong and mainland box office, Wu Changyun only needs to spend a year to raise enough funds, and he is currently still affiliated with Yuan Aijia's Zhengke Pictures.
He had discussed this issue with Yuan Aijia before, and the other party readily accepted it. She was still in the stage of her grandfather's investigation, and it would be beneficial for her to have Wu Changyun's new work under the company's name.
After returning to the hotel room, Wu Changyun called the local Canadian executive director and asked him to help him contact actresses of suitable age, even if they were not professionals, and try to find as many as possible.
"Now? Is it urgent?" It was already past midnight when the executive director arrived.
"Yeah, it's urgent."
Wu Changyun didn't want to see Ann-Margaret and her agent making fun of him the next day.
I have to say that this Canadian executive director is really awesome. At 2 a.m., he rushed into the hotel with a dozen slim girls. The security actors on the first floor were so scared that they called the security directly.
Wu Changyun had no choice but to rush to the first floor lobby and explain to the hotel manager: "Sorry, this is for the movie."
The manager spoke very fast, saying a lot each time, and then the translator conveyed it to Wu Changyun slowly. The security personnel stopped the girls in the lobby.
The manager has been emphasizing safety issues. Fortunately, Wu Changyun brought his own security team with him on this trip to Canada.
There was a man named Yin Zhaozhao in the security team. He was previously the senior disciple of Liu Yukuan's martial arts school. After hearing the translator's words, he lifted up the hotel security guard in a few seconds.
Yin Zhaozhao stood in front of the manager, holding a person in his hand, and asked the translator to convey his message: "We can handle it. You don't need to meddle in security matters."
The manager had never seen such a brutal scene. He said "OK" several times, fearing that Yin Zhaozhao would carry him up as well. Sometimes misunderstandings are created in this way.
Fortunately, it was early in the morning. Wu Changyun looked up and glanced at the floor where Ann-Margaret was, but did not see anyone attracted there. Currently, this hotel was booked by Wu Changyun's crew.
